ORCID @ Faculty Profile
43. orcid.org 43
ORCID projects managed by library staff
(55% of the overall effort), with additional
support from information services/technical
staff (29%), and the institutional research
office (8%).
A small amount of input from other areas was
also required (8%), including oversight by
academic managers, postgraduate
researchers used as ORCID advocates, and
staff in human resources, internal
communications and legal departments.http://repository.jisc.ac.uk/6025/2/Jisc-ARMA-ORCID_final_report.pdf

“The cost of future implementations of
ORCID should reduce over time, as
several third-party suppliers are now
better placed to implement ORCID as a
result of the pilots.”
46. Consortia
• Premium membership (more API
credentials to integrate ORCID into
more systems & call back API to synch
systems)
• Consolidated invoicing and tech
support
• Group approach to implementation
helps with outreach
• Reduced cost to members ($20K vs.
4-6K) orcid.org 46

and RIMs are
integrating ORCID:
single/federated sign

university systems,
exchange of
information, updating
information, asserting
affiliation

ORCID and Institutional Reporting
We want to use ORCIDs to simplify the life
of Oxford’s researchers for working with
institutional systems and publishers’
systems by re-using already available
information for publication data
management and reporting.
The motto is: Input once – re-use often.
“ ”
Wolfram Horstmann, Associate Director,
Bodleian Libraries, University of Oxford
ORCID is all about persistent identifiers for people. There are many reasons why people’s names are ambiguous, including multiple versions of your name, name changes, and transliteration (as in this example)
Only full name and email address is required to register for an ORCID identifier. All other fields are optional. Obviously, the more other data associated with the Identifier, the more it is possible to uniquely identify an individual, in particular when more than one record may have been created for the same individual. This why we encourage users to complement their identifier by entering data into their ORCID Record.
Record holders may designate another individual to serve as a proxy to manage their record, or their institution to serve as a delegated manager of their record.
Record holders may manage what data are seen by whom, by adjusting privacy settings, and by selecting trusted organizations with whom to share limited access data and/or update the record with information on research activities linked through workflows.
Organizations may register and create records for their employee, but unless they specify authority to present data publicly, the record will remain private until claimed by the researcher. And, at all times, the researcher has the ability to change privacy, proxy, and trusted party settings.
Field; Group; Activity
ORCID was formed to address the problem of name ambiguity in scholarly communications.
National consortia agreements signed with Australia, Denmark, Italy, UK
Regional consortia agreements signed with CIC, GWLA, NERL in the US
Integrations include multi-platform (eg Elsevier – Scopus, Pure, manuscript submission).
Now 10 Search & Link wizards for connecting works to your ORCID record, most recently Redalyc (major Latin American database)
Interestingly, our recent community survey
(~6,000 respondents) indicated substantial
support or ORCID mandates.16 Seventy-two
percent o respondents agreed or strongly
agreed that mandates would beneit the
global research community, with 21% neu-
tral and only 7% disagreeing or disagreeing
strongly. Similarly, between about two-thirds
and three quarters o respondents thought it
would be useul or their publisher (75%),
under, institution (both 67%), or scholarly
society (64%) to mandate ORCID.
This is not a comprehensive list!
It is the researchers that benefit greatly from ORCID iDs. They can use them throughout their career, and can already use them to distinguish themselves in publications and grants. And many are starting to see the benefits of using ORCID records in outcome tracking. For example, researchers in Portugal who receive federal funding provide their ORCID iD, and benefit from coordinated outcomes reporting by using the ORCID registry as a hub.
Now, researchers using their identifer
when they submit a paper or a dataset can
authorize CrossRe or DataCite to ormalize
the ORCID identifer-DOI connection when
the work is published, and to update their
ORCID record. In turn, member systems can
be alerted when an ORCID record o interest
is updated via the ORCID notifcation API
service.15 Auto-update unctionality has the
potential to transorm the way researchers
manage their scholarly record, reducing the
amount o time they have to spend manu-
ally keying, connecting, and updating their
research inormation.
